    • The shadows have risen, and the line is law. All Bree wanted was to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. So she infiltrated the Legendborn Order, a secret society descended from King Arthur’s knights—only to discover her own ancestral power. Now, Bree has become someone new: A Medium. A Bloodcrafter. A Scion. But the ancient war between demons and the Order is rising to a deadly peak. And Nick, the Legendborn boy Bree fell in love with, has been kidnapped. Bree wants to fight, but the Regents who rule the Order won’t let her. To them, she is an unknown girl with unheard-of power, and as the living anchor for the spell that preserves the Legendborn cycle, she must be protected. When the Regents reveal they will do whatever it takes to hide the war, Bree and her friends must go on the run to rescue Nick themselves. But enemies are everywhere, Bree’s powers are unpredictable and dangerous, and she can’t escape her growing attraction to Selwyn, the mage sworn to protect Nick until death. If Bree has any hope of saving herself and the people she loves, she must learn to control her powers from the ancestors who wielded them first—without losing herself in the process.

      NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER A SYDNEY TAYLOR MIDDLE GRADE HONOR BOOK Like Ruta Sepetys for middle grade, Anne Blankman pens a poignant and timeless story of friendship that twines together moments in underexplored history. On a spring morning, neighbors Valentina Kaplan and Oksana Savchenko wake up to an angry red sky. A reactor at the nuclear power plant where their fathers work--Chernobyl--has exploded. Before they know it, the two girls, who've always been enemies, find themselves on a train bound for Leningrad to stay with Valentina's estranged grandmother, Rita Grigorievna. In their new lives in Leningrad, they begin to learn what it means to trust another person. Oksana must face the lies her parents told her all her life. Valentina must keep her grandmother's secret, one that could put all their lives in danger. And both of them discover something they've wished for: a best friend. But how far would you go to save your best friend's life? Would you risk your own? Told in alternating perspectives among three girls--Valentina and Oksana in 1986 and Rifka in 1941--this story shows that hatred, intolerance, and oppression are no match for the power of true friendship.

      Entre el cuento de la criada y El señor de las moscas, esta narración distópica explora la psique de adolescentes en una teocracia represiva. En el condado de Garner, las niñas crecen convencidas de que al alcanzar la adolescencia, su piel exhala una esencia de juventud capaz de seducir a los hombres y provocar celos en las mujeres. Para purificar esa magia y regresar listas para el matrimonio, son expulsadas y confinadas en la naturaleza durante un año. Sin embargo, no todas regresan. En un lugar donde están prohibidos los sueños y cualquier forma de privacidad, Tierney James, una joven de dieciséis años, anhela una sociedad sin disputas. A medida que se acerca su año de gracia, descubre que el mayor peligro no proviene de la naturaleza salvaje o de cazadores furtivos, sino de la rivalidad entre ellas. Con prosa afilada y realismo descarnado, la obra examina las complejas y tortuosas relaciones entre jóvenes y las difíciles decisiones que deben tomar para convertirse en mujeres.
